So anyone know what is the policy on how full to make racks when the van drops off a quota of bikes?

Racks near to one another seem to be re-filled en-masse and they never leave any spaces. Why on earth not?? Arriving at your destination to find nowhere to dock is just as annoying as finding no bikes there when you want to take one out.

And because the vans seem to replenish stations in the same area at the same time, cycling to the next nearest often finds that one full too.

So why, when the vans go to re-stock a station, don’t they leave a quarter of the spaces empty? This would save time (and so money) in re-stocking the station, and not annoy so many users who can’t drop off because there are no free docks?
